When I was learning to drive, my dad always told me to keep my eyes focused on the road. He said that where my gaze went, the car would follow.
And he was right. I could keep an eye on my mirrors and stay aware of what was going on around me, but if I stared too long at the scenery or got distracted by something happening in another lane, I would begin to veer off course.
Our health, and really every aspect of our lives, works the same way.
It’s easy to get pulled off course by distractions, quick fixes, comparison, frustration when progress stalls, or chasing the next new thing. Before long, we’re no longer focused on where we want to go. We’re so far off course we don’t have a clue where we’re heading.
Keep your eyes on the direction you want to go. You don’t have to be obsessive about it. You can detour or adjust course when necessary. Just keep the ultimate destination in mind and keep moving forward.
(Oh, and stay in your lane and don’t worry too much about what the other cars are doing!)
Stay Focused, My Friends!
